She/Him

30/01/22 8:12 Calling...

"You again. You just called yesterday. And why so early in the morning?"

"I don't know man, I wake up early. I didn't think you'd answer though. But how did you know it was me?"

"It's been so many times, your number's engraved in my brain."

"Oh. That makes sense."

"Mhm."

"So now that we're on a mutual ground where you don't mind me calling you, can you tell me your name?"

"Not so fast, sir."

"Ight. How about you tell me about yourself?"

"After you."

"Okay... what do you want to know?"

"I don't know- it was your idea."

"How about the basics? No name, but age, pronouns, hobbies, likes and dislikes?"

"Alright."

"I just turned 17, so a junior. He, him. I'm on my school's varsity basketball and lacrosse teams. I like science, surprisingly. Video games, obviously. Gummies are gross and I hate the colour orange."

"Hm. To summarize, you are an athletic high school junior who's secretly a nerd. And for some reason dislikes gummies and the colour orange." 

"Vous avez raison." (translation: You are right.)

"And speaks French. I see."

"It means you're correct if you didn't know."

"Ne t'inquiète pas, je suis experte avec les langues. Surtout le français." (translation: Don't worry, I'm an expert with languages. Especially French.)

"Intéressant." (translation: Interesting.")

"I know right. Okay, allow me to tell you about moi." (translation: me)

"I'm listening."

"I'm 16 but I'm turning 17 in a month. I'm a junior as well. I go by she, her. I dance ballet, hip hop, and modern competitively. I play volleyball for fun. Umm, what else? Oh! I don't like science and engineering, they're the only subjects that I have trouble understanding. I love chocolate and I also hate the colour orange."

"Ha! I knew you were a teen. Dance, huh? That's pretty-"

"Don't you dare say it isn't a sport." 

"I was going to say that it's pretty cool, but come to think of it... it really isn't much of a sport."

"Shush. Sure, it is an art but competitive dance is most definitely a sport, I dare you to change my mind."

"Alright, alright! I surrender. Dance is a sport."

"Good. I'm glad you understand."

"*grumble* Whatever."

"What did you say?"

"Nothing! Nothing at all."

"Alright. Well, I have to go. Today's a Sunday so it's really busy."

"At 8AM?"

"Yup. We open at 7, and even then there's usually a customer or two waiting for an early breakfast." 

"Oh wow."

"Mhm."

"Are you going to hang-"

The Call Has Ended

"Up on me again?"
